Re: Tarum III - Space Station The Dividing Line
Meanwhile Thall takes a few deep breaths to bring his oxygen level back to normal. "Good, let's do this." Thall pulls back his hand to reveal a rod, about a foot long, of a silvery metal. He steps over to Draven and takes the cylinder out of his hand.
"Now, to put this in there..." The rod is stuck into a hole in the underside of the cylinder. "And this in there..." The cylinder is screwed back into place. "Now push..." And pushing Thall does. Slowly the cylinder sinks into the apparatus until a metallic click is heard.
The Telarin flips a switch, takes a step back and nods, seemingly satisfied. "Now to say the magic words." He seems to be clearing his throat - but the next words he speaks are not his own. Much more, an audio recording starts to play.
"It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!"
And alive it is. The first thing that comes on is the air containment field that Thall mentioned - a blue shield that looks somewhat like a bubble and seals off the door. Then the lights above them come online. "You should turn off your Mag boots, gravity's going to kick in any second - ah, there it is." Everybody can feel themselves pulled down. Not as strong as normal, though - it seems the generator can't provide 1G.
At last, the pumps start working and fill the vacuum with air.
